Morning round of pulling a few shots using the MCal. and a blend of remnant beans. 6.8gm of Bali, 5.2 gm of an unknown ratio of Ethiopian and Guatemalan, qs ad to 42gm with an El Salvadoran. 1st single was a bit less than ideal. 2nd single and a double were real nice ...

... la carafe follows through on my thoughts about blending from yesterday. Equal amounts Toba and Saris, with 10% of older than I'd thought monsooned Bali becasue... well, party because I would rather put it to use than toss it, but also in hopes of grounding any too-little-rested effects. Whether ...

... coffee section for the details, just let it go that it was great. Hmmm, 1:1 with the Toba might not be enough. A pinch of the almost too rested Bali might help for tomorrow. I'll return to SO cups after they've both rested some. It's a strange thing, and I'd have to start giving some of it away, ...

In solidarity with poor Djimitri (and laziness), I, too, have run out of roasted beans. Well, aside from that scrap of Bali, but that's for seasoning. Luckily, I should have what I consider ideal roasting weather - cool, but not so cold I can't have a nice waft of fresh air to clear ...

... usual unrested, but near 24 hours, a range I don't visit much. This morning I added a pinch (one part in five or six) of the aging, darker roasted Bali monsooned, and that was nice, too. And I'm sure I ought to plan the next roast Real Soon Now, especially if I want to roast something that needs ...

... a larger portion wasn't so much to my liking, so many of the blends being more or less ad-hoc. A few beans may be exceptions, like the monsooned Bali, I think.

Martin, Happy Birthday, a bit late. Glad you had an extended celebration! Jim, drool; I still have half a pound of the Bali Monsooned, too. (Discovered when I came close to actually counting the pounds of greens I still have left.) Yes, that means my stash is diminishing! This morning ...

The Bali was just last summer... but after an early taste, I ordered 5#, most of which went into vac/frz storage. It wasn't that it was my perfect coffee, but it was clearly a unique lot, and I did (and do) enjoy it quite a ...

.....monsooned Bali !! Once again Martin I am amazed that you still have a coffee that was offered here what seems like a a century ago. I loved that coffee. Was interesting as a SO espresso but worked fairly nicely as a blend. Actually, ...

... this roasting I ought to have already done. Just finished brewing the unrested carafe and... yeah, this will do. Revisiting an old friend, the Bali Natural Monsooned. It was having a nice first crack which lulled me into a state of lower vigilance, so this is FC+ with perhaps more of that plus ...
